Israel’s Strategic and Diplomatic Posture: A Time of Opportunity and Risk

- On June 13, Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, starting a 12-day conflict ending with a US-brokered ceasefire on June 24.

- Evidence shows Israel targeted over 30 security officials and 11 nuclear scientists, followed by Iran launching several hundred missiles in retaliation, illustrating the conflict’s extensive military scale.
- Following the ceasefire, the U.S. and Israel focus on diplomatic efforts, including hopes for formal ties with Syria and Lebanon, signaling a major policy shift in the region.
- Beyond the immediate conflict, optimism grows for expanding the Abraham Accords as Arab nations consider deeper cooperation with Israel, now seen as a regional high-tech leader.
